What's wrong?
The front suspension knuckle on affected 2014-2017 Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles is the metal joint area that ties the wheel hub, steering linkage, and upper suspension arm into the front suspension. It helps keep the wheel aligned while the suspension moves over bumps and while the driver steers.
On these vehicles, cracks can develop in the upper knuckle joint. As those cracks worsen under certain environmental conditions, the upper suspension arm can detach from the knuckle. When that connection is no longer held in place, the front suspension loses a key mounting point, and the vehicle no longer responds as designed.
There is no warning sign before failure. The filing does not identify a noise, warning light, steering feel change, or other owner-noticeable symptom before the joint fails.

Suspension arm detachment can reduce vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash. Until the inspection and repair are complete, avoid delaying service and contact a dealer if the vehicle handles abnormally. Repair is free at any franchised Land Rover dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014-2017 Land Rover Range Rover or Range Rover Sport is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Land Rover dealer to schedule the free front-suspension-knuckle inspection and retaining-bracket or knuckle repair that addresses the cracking upper knuckle joint.
- Bring the recall notice if you received one. If not, reference recall number 25V514 and Land Rover recall D019, N759, D041, or D027 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete, and leave extra room for steering and braking if the vehicle feels unstable.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Land Rover technician inspects the front suspension knuckles. If the knuckle can be secured, the technician installs a retaining bracket. If the knuckle needs replacement, the technician replaces it. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. If you already paid for a related front suspension knuckle repair before the recall notice, Land Rover's standard reimbursement plan applies to documented expenses. Bring repair invoices, proof of payment, and any related service paperwork to the dealer or contact Land Rover customer service for the claim path.
